The staff were quite lovely, and definitely personable. The rooms, however, were not the most comfortable, however, they did come with nice TVs. We were there in the middle of winter, and it took a while to heat our rooms as apparently the water tank wasn't on (?), so just make sure to bring warm sweaters if you go in... More

I have to wonder? If you thought this was a 5 star hotel, with a "pre-planned" schedule for things to do...ie "all-inclusive", then WHY would you pick Moosonee? For future reference on vacation choices, DON'T choose a remote community in Canada, and expect a set schedule of activities! Moosonee is amazing for those of us that enjoy the great outdoors,...

PBL is an older hotel (just like the Ontario Northland Railway's rolling stock) and there is not a thing wrong with that. Comfortable beds, friendly folk, good food, great location and my 83 year old father loved the bedside lamp - he'd like to fined one now.

We stayed there July 25th, 2012. The place has a great view out the front as it is right by the docks to take the river-taxis over to Moose Factory. The people running the place were really nice and friendly as are most people you meet and talk to in Moosonee. The room and bed were fine although the bathroom... More

RIght next to the docks to go to Moose Factory. We stayed here for one night last week. Expensive. Clearly the hotel has seen better days. But not too many choices of hotels there. It would have still been bearable if there was anything to do there. Alas, Moosonee too has seen better days.

The room was dirty, stains on the comforter and the door looks like it had been kicked in a couple of times and repaired. The wireless did not work the entire time I was there and there is no telephones in the rooms, you have to share a payphone in the common TV room. By the way, the common TV... More

First, you need to understand that this motel is in Moosonee, Ontario, on the banks of the mighty Moose River just south of where the river drains into James Bay. TripAdvisor (despite no fewer than seven separate requests) insists on showing the postal code for the motel's Toronto reservations center (M9W 1C4) rather than the actual postal code for the...
